The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron' Works beg to call the attention of capitalists iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those who wkh to settle colonies, to their property .which oilers Inducements to the classes above named. The property consists, ol blx Thousand Three Hundred Acres of laud, located in the counties of Gaston arid Cieaveiaud, in the State of North Car ollna, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Blcluuond and Danville railroad company. The property has been used for hi ly years past as an Iron property, and has ueen worked at various points, but chiefly at the site of the eelebrated yellow Kiiige Ore Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness in metallic iron, and its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, wuich extends for two miles in length, has been worked to the depth of 147 feet, showing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the facts set forth can be fully shown. - Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (live veins of Iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will furnish an amount of good ore, easily worked and above water, that must make it one of the most desirable iron properties to be found. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which is 1000 feet above the level land, 22U0 feet above the sea leve', a vein of ore eight feet wide, which crops out. at various points from tbe top to the bottom of the mountain, show ing in one place about 20 feet ot Bond vein. This vein can be traced over th top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this four other veins b?ve been found on this mountain. The ore Is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 4S to 65 per cent, of metallic iron, with a small amount or titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. Tbe quantity of ore in this mountain is simply inexhaustible and of good quality. . . . .... -. . Beside Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven miles,, whose pinnacle Is the highest point of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except ML Airy, In Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain is full of ore also. In addition to iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making fire-proof brick, gold and other minerals. , Very pure and ex cellent barytese has Just been found lu large quan tity. - . . , As a stock and dalrv farm It niTnra Htm nnnnrtti- Uties to those who may wish to engage Jn such bus iness, it had from three to four thousand acres of lovel or only slightly rolling land, which produces rss. grain and ail kinds of farming products dnely, and It is well supplied with water by unfall ng springs and branches j - The Other 4.fll nirM mhnnul In thn mnnntnln sides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and nord excellent natural pasturage for sheep and cattle, The climate is so mild that but little shel ter lor stock is needed In the coldest winters.

T Mr. Blaine says that he did not vote on the prohibitory amendment to the constitution submitted to the people of Maine last Monday, for the reason that as a representative of the Republican party he thought it better to touch that . matter carefully, or rather touch it not at all, adding that if there was any question which came distinctly within the jurisdiction of the State it was the question of pro hibition. This is simply some of Mr. Blaine's artful dodging. The question might be asked whether he was called upon to vote upon that amendment as a citizen of Maine or as a represen tative of the National Republican party. ; His excuse would be just as good for dodging any other , measure on which there might be a difference of opinion. If it was a question strictly within the jurisdiction of the State, ' he, as a citizen of the State, could have cast his vote in accordance with his honest convictions, but the fear of the political effect of that vote outside of the State made . him dodge and shirk casting his ballot for or against the amendment as other citi zens pf the State did. It was antici pated before the election that he would dodge. If he did dodge he has played false, as far as he is concerned, to his promises to the prohibitionists'.- Neal Dow, in a published letter sev4 eral weeks before the election, assured the prohibitionists that Mr. Blaine would vote for the amendment him self, and that if he failed to do so, he (Dow) would move to put a prohibi tion Presidential electoral ticket in the field. The day before the election Mr. Dow said Mr. Blaine had carried out in good faith his promise to give tbe cordial support of the Republican State ticket and the Republican organ ization to the prohibition ' amend-. merit, and . that ; he would come up manfully and vote for the amendment as he had publicly pledged. Up to the day of election Dow re fused to give credence to the report that Blaine would not vote as he had promised. So it seems that Blaine was not only dodging himself, but that he was making false promises to Neal Dow, promises ' made to be. broken, ; His dodging will do him no ! good where he hoped it would, for he has committed his party to the sup port of a measure which lie had not the moral courage to vote for. ; - Mrs. Morrill, widow of the late Senator Morrill, of Maine, in - her rer ply to the appeal from a Republican committee in Ohio, addressed to her dead husband, to come Out and ,help them in the canvass there, said her husband," if alive, would oppose Blaine, whom he knew to be a cor rupt man, adding that Blaine sought him with tears in his eyes to protect him from exposure-when under in vestigation by" the House of Repre sentatives. While Mr. Morrill might not have supported Mr. Blaine for the Presidency, he was, still -sufficiently partizan to keep his mouth closed . when, according to his wid ow's statement, he was familiar-with the facts and thoroughly .convinced of Blaine's corruption. ..... 4 - Mr. Grady, who made the fight against Cleveland :- at - Chicago, I is according to his own saying, avenge ful sort of a fellow. In his speech in Tammany Hall Monday, he said: "There may be those who forgive their enemies, but I am one who fol lows an enemy- through" thick and thin, returning fire for fire till one or the other goes I down." When he gets all bis war paint on and swings his tomahawk in earnest he must be a terrible fellow. ... . , , ' J The Baltimore Sun acknowledges the receipt .of -two pears of the "Cleveland and Hendricks" variety weighing nearly 27 ounces each and raised by Mrs. A. T. Bush, of . Eden ton, N. C. These mammoth Cleve land and Hendricks pears are sug gestive of the ; mammoth - Cleveland and Hendricks majority this State will cast next November. - It will be about as many thousands as . there were ounces in each or these pears The Richmond Whig says that the Democrats turned noxious gas loose in a hall in Martinsville, Va the other day to break . up a Radical meeting. There must be some mis take about this, or these were very foolish Democrats. It was a willful waste of the raw material There' is always at Radical meetings in this country, a superabundance of nox ious gas., , .. j ' Many of Blaine's friends think he made a mistake when he entered that libel suit against' the 'Indianapolis Sentinel, and now think that his ' at torneys are making as - great; if - riot greater mistake in quibbling on tech nical .grounds to delay , the proceed' ings. Green, of Watuaga, is the Republican nominee for Congress in " the 8th district.- C. P.-McKesson, of Burke, for district collector. UPniLLIVORK. For several years the Republican party of this State has been passing through a disintegrating process, and what is left of it has been kept to gether through the efforts, mainly of the internal revenue machine.; I s best and brainiest ment have left it, or take little or no interest in its man agement. IWhen the internal reve nue bosses got together and resolved to hunt outside for somebody to splice with and the so called coalition with the so-called Liberal Democrats was formed, it was a public confession of weakness. But instead of making them stronger, that dicker with a few outside politicians who had met with disappointments and ; nursed little ambitions of their own, it made them weaker, for it showed the trad ing spirit which disgusted the better class of straightout Republicans, who stood by the party in all its ups and downs, and .many of them became, if not openly opposed to it, indifferent to -its success, v. They regarded it rightfully as the the result of trick ery," which if successful would result in benefit only to the tricksters. Hence the aversion or indifference of many of the old-time loaders,' men who had a personal following 'and whose voice was mighty with the party. . V..:-',;;;:W-t ;:- Not only this, but among the so called leaders there is distrust and jealousy. They are watching each other as a cat watches a mouse, and with pretty much the same motive and feeling and hope.'; They have in their scrambles for spoils and efforts to control the party ; tramped upon each others feet so often that not only the feet but the men are very sore, and while there is an apparent agreement between them it . is all on the surface "and anything but cordial. This is one of the difficul ties they meet with in this campaign and one of the reasons why it lags and drags so. " And it will not get any better between how i and November. According to a tabulated statement published by the New York World in reply to the claim that the "Republi can party, saved theTJnion," there were in the Federal - armies ;during the war a total "of 1,456,907 "-Demo crats and 1,222,000 Republicans. In addition to this; a very large number of the- commanding : Generals were Democrats. Gen. Butler is now swinging round the circle in the West in a palace car belonging to a railroad superinten dent,; the. use of whicn'is gratuitously giveti to him. '. . He.".ad.mits : that the object of his running is to defeat Cleveland, an admission .which will lessen his vote arid increase Cleveland's. Mr. Blaine says he didn't vote on the prohibition amendment in Maine; he dodged. This is in keeping with Blaine's dodging record. But dodg ing on that issue -won't do him much good. Now that Blaine is over his agony in Maine he can turn his talent to Ohio, and as much spare cash as he can command, for they are both needed. " Tbe hanfijwer. Petersburg (Va.) Index. v . We now entertain no shadow of doubt that the sunflower is a very useful plant, and worthy of far more attention than it has hitherto com monly received from farmers and gardeners. We nave grown 10 many years, and made a variety of experi ments with it, and the result is, we expect to grow it largely next year. If we can nnd marxec ior tne seed. purpose to plant at least ono acre, of it, and keep account to see if there is a profit m it, ana nowmucn. ; In former years, we have planted it about in nooks and corners around the buildings and fences, - about tbe stables, poultry houses, and privies, to aosorD tne. poisonous emuvia .anu prevent unpleasant odors ; near ' the weU (Due not too near), to annK up the stagnant water standing , around, and sweeten the air; along branch sides and meadows to prevent mala ria, and "we have' imagined that it has done good in every place. It may be only a fancy, but it has seemed in some way, either through its foliage or its roots, perhaps through both. that the atmospnere . arouna tnose places was made - sweeter, by tthe presence of the sunflower. " -' ! And so we have retained it . from year to year, always with increasing favor, for we nave round tnat poul try and fowls of the wild species are as fond of the seed as they are of any gram, and eat it as readily and greed ily. - ' . .

While Ben Butler was in command at New Orleans his ;- "Special Order No 10," dated June 5, 1862, ordered the hanging of , Wm. B. Mumford June 7, (two days afterward). His offense, as described ; in the order, was "treason and an overt act there of in tearing down the United States flag from a public building of the United States." The bunding was the United States h branch mint. Mumford was said to have been drunk at the time and did the act in mere bravado. He had no accom plices, and no one knew he had done it till he trailed the flag behind his buggy tip St. Charles street ' and bragged about it. It was an individ ual and foolish spree. James Parton, is the very partial biographer of General Butler, prepar ing his book under the ."single eye" of that hero. His "Gen. Butler in New Orleans" was published in 1863 avowedly as a defense of that doughty hero's course and conduct; in the Cresctmt City. On page 348 Parton says: "In the case of Mumford he (Butler) had no misgivings. He was able to endure the harrowing specta cle of t;he man's wife and three chil dren falling upon their knees before him begging the life of a husband and father. . Ho was able , to resist the tears and entreaties of ' his own tender-hearted wife, whose judgment he respected, and to whose judgment he often deferred.'? On page 351 of his book Parton says: "The scaffold was erected in front of the mint, near the scene of his crime. To the last minute Gen. Butler was earnestlv imnlorAd tn spare him. The venerable Dr. Mer cer, a man ol 80 honorable years, once the familiar friend and frequent host of Henry Clay, a gentleman of boundless generosity' and benevo lence, the patron of all that redeemed New Orleans, came to headquarters an hour before the execution to ask for Mumford's life. . : -. 'Give me this man's life. General," said he, while the tears rolled down his aged cheeks. "Itis but a scratch or your pen." "True?' replied the General. "But a scratch of my pen could burn New Orleans. could as soon l2o the one as the other." An Ugly Exhibit. Augusta Chronicle. .

A Limestone county editor has been gathering statistics and shows that in his part of the State the value of farming implement is $3,099, while the value of dirks, pistols, eta, is $5,587. This is about the DroDortion of Falstaff's bread bill to his liquor account. ' - But Mr. Mr. Watkins. of Birming ham, goes much farther and states that Alabama at large is much worse than Limestone county in particular. He give the following table of com parative values, based upon the Audi tor's report tor tne nscai year of 1883, which, he says, may well astonish any reflective mind: .
